TATTOO
EST. 2018
In my tattoo practice I create work in an abstractive contemporary style, primarily based in London and travelling around the UK.
I'm always happy to chat about projects you have in mind, to make an enquiry you can send an email to hello@danbramfitt.com
My Work
I work in a variety of different concepts - from more structural, hard shapes to organic free-flowing compositions drawn straight onto the skin. You can read more below, or if you prefer you can jump straight to the gallery.
Structures are compositions of contrasting hard geometric shapes and organic free-flowing line work. They can be custom designed, pulling elements from other projects or featuring custom shapes, or you can choose from a selection of pre-drawn flash.
They often feature a dissecting element which can be extended to fill out a limb or placement area and often work best over flat placements so the straight lines don't appear to warp.
These are some of my favourite pieces to make, so I am always happy to chat about them.
Structures
Landscapes are free-flowing organic lines most often made as freehand projects - meaning they are drawn directly onto the body. This technique allows for them to perfectly interact with the placement, any beauty spots (scars, freckles etc.) or other tattoos you have in that area. They can work all over the body and can be made in any size - they look particularly great flowing over hinges.
As they are made freehand they require a bit of an open mind.
Landscapes
Tiles are the oldest element of my current work, and I first started drawing them in around 2017 - they have evolved a whole lot in that time.
My flash portfolio often features a big array of tiles but they can also be drawn up as customs, I mostly do that in our appointment so you can show me elements of other designs you would like to include and discuss the specific flow.
Tiles can be made in many shapes, mostly circles, squares and rectangles, they can be adjoined to another tile in a symmetrical design and can also be made as freehand pieces. There are lots of options!
Tiles
I am always open to discussing any custom projects you have in mind. Provided I think I can do the best tattoo possible for you and that l I can execute it in my style, I'll most likely take it on.
Custom projects are a great way for me to challenge my own process, and a lot of how I have developed stylistically has been through taking them on.
If I do not think I am the right artist for the project, I will try to direct you to someone else who I think would be better suited.
